2. You Don't Have To Talk Trash To Stand Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAYGtQW4ek8 Every season of TUF, there's some sort of drama, and some sort of trash talk. It has been a while since "Let me bang, bro" made a joke out of the franchise, but there's been enough in the way of similar antics to remind us of it. This season, Angela Magana was the trash talk queen, and yes, it got people talking about her. Did it really help her career, however? Really, it just looked silly when she wound up thrashed at the TUF 20 finale by Tecia Torres. On the other hand, Joanne Calderwood endeared herself to fight fans everywhere. She was sweet, came off as a good person, and won herself a ton of new followers. Between the two, Joanne is the one who's going to make an impact, and she didn't need to stoop low to get noticed. Nice girls don't finish last.
